Lewis Hamilton has signed a multi-year contract with Ferrari, according to a brief team statement posted by Scuderia Ferrari on X Wednesday afternoon. The seven-time world champion will join Charles Leclerc at Ferrari for the 2025 Formula 1 season. Rumors have circulated for years that the British driver—who is tied only with Michael Schumacher in terms of world championships—could make the switch, but a deal has never come to fruition. Hamilton will leave Mercedes, where he has created one of the most successful F1 partnerships, scooping six world titles over the course of just seven years from 2014-20. He’s since fallen out of his winning ways, having not won a race since 2021.
